Godzilla

 

I waited until Sunday to see this movie, which wasn't the best idea. By then, Facebook and Twitter had many opinions that made me skeptical of a movie. Everyone was saying, " Don't waste your money" or "You only see Godzilla twice." Obviously,  this made me concerned about going to see it, but I love movies so I went to watch it.

 

I'll break it down in a simple pro and con list:

 

Pros 

• The story flow pretty well. We saw the beginning middle and end.
• It tied into historical events very well. WW2 and the Cold War were portrayed very well.
• Godzilla was a hero. He was a flawed hero, but a hero all the same.
• Lovely story of man versus nature.  

Cons

• The tragedy seemed a little forced. Throughout the movie the lost of important characters seemed a little much.
• Destruction was at a level 11 out of 10. Building and people were lost like popped bubbles in the wind.  This kind of damage bothers me to my soul.

Last point.
Godzilla probably could have gotten more camera time, but I don't think it was necessary for the storyline.

Mystery Incorporated

 

What was life before Netflix? Recently, I decided to watch Mystery Incorporated again. For those that are not familar with the series, its a spinoff of Scooby Doo. Fred, Velma,  Daphine, Shaggy and Scooby are solving mysteries and unmasking unearthly villains.

The weird part of this version is all the love stories. We all know who suppose to fit together, but it's weird watching it actually happen. Shaggy is with Velma. Daphine gets with Fred. Even Scooby doo finds love in the series.

 

 

This version of the gang also features some very adult level of jokes. It makes me like it so much more, which probably because I am now an adult. If you have Netflix, just watch it.

 

 

 

 

P.S. X men this weekend!! I'm excited. Godzilla review on its way.

What Spiderman 2 taught us...

On Cinco de Mayo, I finally got out to see the Amazing Spiderman 2. I really enjoyed the storyline and the villains were pretty entertaining. Andrew Garfield is a way better Spiderman than Tobey Maguire's version.  Sorry, not sorry.

Lessons learned in The Amazing Spiderman 2:

1. Don't let men slow your life down. Gwen Stacy showed us the worst case scenario of this situation.  She should have stayed in the cab.

2. Regular people cannot fight super villains with a pistol or not gun at all. People of Marvel New York please run away from super villains.

3. Andrew Garfield is a beautiful man.

Bless the summer movie season.
